It’s a snow day here in Brooklyn, so I don’t have much to do. So I’m going to blog about Joel Stein.
He is my favorite part of Time magazine. I love The Awesome Column and his occasional essays. What first caught my attention was an article he wrote about naming his first child (I think it was his first) and how he even contacted random people on Facebook for help. I like his use of humor because everything else in the magazine just seems so intense with seriousness, except for the 10 Questions section and the Pop Chart.
His writings don’t appear as often as I wish they did, so I started to collect his articles. Stein’s most recent article was about the housing market. He later joked at the end that we should all save our government money for necessities, such as high definition television converters. It’s sort of cheesy, but I like it.
